Interesting "fix" for the problem. But instead of sending "00", just send your regular zone (it might be a mult for the CQing station) and let the award points be added during log checking by the CQW
Interesting data Richard. As a compromise, how about the following. This would really affect folks in the USA, Canada, European Russia, Australian Russia, Australia and whatever country is divided up
Hi Rich: Ah, but in the US, we can't tell the zone from the callsign...a problem in IARU of course. Again, I'm still not convinced that we want to do anything to ENCOURAGE more same-country QSO's in

If USA-USA QSOs were worth one point apiece, you'd make a lot more than 300 USA-USA QSOs during the weekend. -- Kenneth E. Harker WM5R kenharker@kenharker.com http://www.kenharker.com/ ______________
Re-read my post Ken. We actually made a lot more than 300 USA to USA QSOs, 613 to be exact. As I said, it was 19% of our total QSOs made. And yes, I would expect to make more QSOs if the 1 point rule
This would work for me since most of our 613 USA QSOs were in the one-hop skip zone of zone 5 or zone 3. 73, Richard k5na@texas.net _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing
